4 Research Statement Low power circuits and sub-circuits for extremely low power applications have been considered vital

towards the development of a low-carbon, green society. As the scaling down of fabrication at the sub-

micron level continues, technology demands the use of digitally-assisted techniques in analog and

radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuits. In the last seven years, I have been working with various

academicians in different institutes in Japan and abroad to develop low power circuits and sub-circuits

for extremely low power applications in sub-threshold regions. My work involves different areas of

circuits and systems ranging from miniaturizing antenna designs and passive circuits such as filters

and duplexers to radio frequency integrated circuits (RFIC) for next generation wireless systems. My

current research focuses on developing low power RFIC in CMOS technology for wideband

reconfigurable systems, as summarized below:

Low power RF-front ends in CMOS technology

I have designed many low power components in sub-threshold regions for extremely low power

applications. The design results are very encouraging, and for this reason, I am very optimistic that

this work will significantly contribute towards the development of green electronics. An example of

3

one of my recent innovations on microwatt RF front-ends was presented in the IEEE Radio Frequency

and Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Conference held in Baltimore, USA in June, 2011.

Digitally-Assisted RF circuits

The scaling down of CMOS technology and reduction in supply voltage complicates the

implementation of RF integrated circuits in deep submicron CMOS process and demands the use of

digitally-assisted approaches in their circuit implementation. A digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is

one of the core components of the all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) for the next generation of

wireless transceivers that need to be implemented in deep-submicron CMOS technology. Some of the

major issues in designing a DCO are the phase noise, power consumption, frequency tuning range,

frequency tuning step, and monotonicity. Although linearity and monotonicity are some of the most

important parameters of a DCO, they have not been paid much attention in DCO designs reported so

far.

Most inductance-capacitance (LC) DCOs employ digital control word (DCW) to vary

the capacitance array of varactor cells by switching between high and low level voltages to

tune the oscillation frequency. This capacitance array is implemented for tuning in blocks

such as the one for compensation for process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations, the

coarse tuning block (CTB), the fine tuning block (FTB), and the tracking bank (TB). As the

tuning range is increased and the frequency tuning steps are reduced, the linearity will

degrade and the function will become non-monotonic. So far, no optimization methods have

been reported to make an optimization between DNL (Differential Nonlinearity), tuning range

and mismatch in the capacitance array. In this research, I have been analyzing the nonlinearity

of a DCO using nonlinear mathematical equations between the mismatch in the capacitor

array and the tuning range for a required DNL, and deriving an analytical equation which

provides a systematic approach to the design DCO for a large tuning range and permissible

DNL. A 12-bit DCO was designed and implemented in 0.18 m CMOS technology, and was

successfully tested to verify the proposed method. A brain–computer interface (BCI), often called a mind-machine interface (MMI), or sometimes

called a direct neural interface or a brain–machine interface (BMI), is a direct communication pathway

between the brain and an external device. BCIs are often directed at assisting, augmenting, or repairing

human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. Ever since such research started in 1970, wired links

have been necessary to establish data links between the brain and computers (see Fig. 2). I have been

carrying on research to develop a low power high data rate CMOS chip to substitute for wired links

(Fig. 2, right). A detail of the CMOS system developed by the applicant is illustrated in Fig. 3. The

chip and its measurement results are shown in the same figure, which demonstrates that a high data

rate can be transmitted as an impulse within the human body’s internal environment. I shall continue

with this research in the future.

(b) Development of Tunable RF Front Ends for Reconfigurable Applications using CMOS and

MEMS Technology I am interested in the hetero-junction interconnection technology of CMOS chips to MEMS

devices to develop tunable RF front-end components. Currently, I am conducting collaborative research on the topic with MEMS specialists in Japan. An example of this research is Professor Masayoshi Esashi’s group at Tohoku University for the development of a wideband acoustic wave resonator based multiband DCO and multi-band power amplifier for white-space reconfigurable systems. One of the examples I have developed is an FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) based VCO which is shown in Fig. 4. The measurement results in Fig. 4 show that the world record of phase noise has been established. In turn, its FoM (Figure of Merit) was measured to be -21.9 dB which is more than a 20 dB improvement on the start-of-the-art VCO. My ultimate goal is to extend this research (the digitally-assisted approach, MEM-based CMOS tunable components) to develop the entire reconfigurable system exploiting white space bands whose system configuration is illustrated in Fig. 6.
